Does your baby play with the labels/tags on her toys more than the toys themselves?

Sandra D asked:


This is a silly question but I’m curious. My baby is fascinated by the labels on her toys. All her stuffed animals have fabric labels sticking out of them and she loves grabbing the labels. She pulls on them and sticks them her mouth or she’ll stare at the label in her hand for a long time. My husband and I wondered why all the baby toys had these long labels sticking out of them. Now we are wondering if all babies are fascinated by the labels our just our baby.

    OMG Yes! and yep most babies I know seem too. My neices definatly do. Wouldnt it be great if they made a toy that was all tags? haha. My daughter would have a blast with that.
    Oh wow. reading the other answers I see that they do. I will definatly have to find a toy like that for my daughter. She would love it

    Most babies enjoy the tags… They now have an entire line of clothing called taggies.. because kids enjoyed them so much

    LOL
    That’s so funny my son does the same. He loves the tags!!
    He has this blanket he loves and i noticed it’s because of the tag it has. He can play with that thing for a while.
    This is a good question…

    Yes! My son loves tags of any kind! That is funny because I always thought that it was just my kid who would love the tags more than the toys themselves! Now at least I know he is not necessarily unusual- in that area anyhow!

    Yep. DS has been doing that since he could grab at things. At almost 1 he’s still fascinated.

    Yes!! My daughter could rather put the tags in her mouth ot play with them than all of her toys. She somehow finds a tag wherever it is in the room and is fascinated by it for hours. Instead of with the toys she moves on in minutes. I am going to the tag website thanks to the first comment! Haha.

    oh yes, when i noticed my son had a fascination for the tags on all his toys I bought him one of those “taggie” blankets. Wouldn’t you know it…he would play with the manufacturer’s tag on the taggie blanket! to funny!

    My son LOVES tags as well. He has a playmat that he will just stare and flip and pull at the tags for hours.

    Mine would get angry that he couldn’t TEAR them off!

    My son’s not that old yet, or not that interested, but my nephew was obsessed with tags. My sister had to cut off all the tags of his shirts because he’d just stand there forever playing with the tag.
    For those of you who want to save money, what my sis did was cut out all the tags, then she took two soft wash cloths, placed the edge of each tag (from the clothes) around the edge of one wash cloth (with most of the tag out) and then the other wash cloth on top of that and sewed down the edges… very cute, very inexpensive alternative to Taggies!

    When I was a kid I remember putting the tags from my toys on my fingers. So I loved it when I found out my son had the same infatuation.

    I bought some wide ribbon, and some fleece. I made a little blanket the size of a dishtowel and looped different colored and textured ribbons around the edges and it is his favorite thing on the planet. He wont go ANYWHERE without it. I also went so far as to make him a blanket with the “tags” on the edges. It has a print on one side, and the other is a solid color with BIG (well-fastened buttons on it! I hope he loves it!! Im giving it to him for Christmas.
